Artem Case Studies

Outpost Black Camel Pictures

Directed by Steve Barker, Outpost is a sci-fi horror in which a world-weary group of mercenaries, in war-torn Eastern Europe, discover a long-hidden secret in an abandoned WWII bunker...

Artem provided all floor effects for the film, as well as props, pyrotechnics and mechanical rigs.

Shot mainly on location in Dumfriesshire, as well as the studio for all the underground scenes, this low budget feature demanded clever low-cost solutions to adventurous directing from Steve Barker. Some of the night shooting required mysterious mist effects alongside pyrotechnic explosions and various bullet hits.

The studio work required more atmospheric smoke and pyrotechnics as the underground bunker was slowly overrun by Nazi Zombies! And ever more interesting deaths were portrayed using trick/soft/retractable props as the different characters met grizzly ends!
